the world. Such retreat to be founded by
young girls has been unheard of hitherto in
the worlds history. 1t is intended to rival
IN material, extent, and educational scope
Girard College. The first cost is to be $780,
OO0, and the young girls subsequently, are TO
pay the entire expenses OF carrying on the
institution. The buildings are now we'll
under way, and will be ready for occupancy
before many months.
The young ladies, during their tour
abroad, have been visiting all the principal
Continental institutions for the education of
the young, and write that they have &C
quired much knowledge that win be Of use
IN carrying out their great project AL
though so wealthy, there has been no show
whatever associated with their tour abroad
They live in the simplest manner, and their
retlnue of servants consists of Just two per-
sons. They live in the same transformations
manner at home. They have a town house
III the fashionable quarters on Walnut street,
and beautiful country place about sixteen
miles from the city. They love the fields
and the river, and spend only about three
months In the year in the city. They care
nothing whatever for fashionable society,
and are rarely met at festive gatherings,
They are thoroughly trained business
tepies s' of up booReepki aa P and a thcv
themselves keep ali the accounts in
connection with the everyday administra-
ton of their fortune. Their recreations are
chiefly outdoor pleasures. They are skillful
horse-women, trained from childhood to
ride. They have a stable of fine horses, and
one meets them riding miles around their
country place. A ride of ten miles is an
ordinary indulgence, and a run of twenty
miles has not worn them altogether out.
They are fond of dogs, too and they have at
least fifty of the faithful creatures running
in and about their home Their personal
expenditures do not equal tenth of the sum
they give away yearly in charity. They
have a long list of pensioners who depend
largely upon them for support; many old
friends and pensioners also of their late
father and mother. They are also regular
subscribers to many charitable institutions
Begging letters pour i'll upon them by the
hundred. But, though they are not deaf to
any worthy appeal, most of these epistleS
they promptly and prudently consign to the
flames. There is a chapel near to their house.
OF course they pay most of the current ex-
penses of that too. Still there they probably
get their moneys WORTH for they attend
early service there every day. They teach
Sunday school i'll their own house, having a
class of sixty or seventy bows and girls
gathered from the country side While
abroad all their various charities are kept up
by people whom they specially designate for
that purpose. Thus the good work goes on
ceaselessly. Altogether they are an excellent
trio for the three richest unmarried sisters
In the United States.

THE TALE OF A CLOCK.
How George w. Child's Outbid A. T.
Stewart for a Time-Piece.

From the Philadelphia Record
The handsome Mexican onyx clock which
stands in the reception-room of the city
residence of George w. Childs, at the south
east corner of Twenty second and Walnut
streets, has been much admired by the
thousands of visitors to that hOspitable
mansion, few of whom probably know the
history of the expensive time-keeper, which
is recalled by the death of LIE Grand Lock
wood in New York. During the Paris Elk
position Of 1867 Mr.. Lockwood, who was a
visitor, became especially ena1nored of this
strikingly beautiful clock, whose base,
feet in height, supported
superb silver Statuette of Liberty,
swinging from one hand pen
dulum. Mr. Lockwood, who was then very
wealthy, determined to own this clock, and
in the auction of exhibited articles bought
it, though the Gar of all the Russias, to
whom time was then of moment, was
competitor in the bidding. Safely trans
ported to Norwalk, Conn, MIR. Lockwood's
home, the costly time-piece was much adj
mired by the visitors to Mr.. Lockwood's
house, and by none more than by Mr.. and
Mrs George w. Childs. Several years
later Mr.. Lockwood's house and its many
articles of virtu were offered for sale, and
at the suggestion of his good wife Mr.
Childs determined to buy this clock Ar
rived at the sale, and the clock put up, Mr..
Childs' first bid was $1,000 A stranger
Immediately behind him raised that $500.
Mr. Childs saw the raise and raised back
$500, when the astonished stranger reaching
forward remarked:
'Sir, come from A. T. Stewart with
orders to get that clock, and must have
it."
Il don't care if you come from Golconda,"
was the reply of the Philadelphia, and he
kept raising the bid of his opponent, much
to the auctioneer's satisfaction, until he had
offered $1,000, at which figure Stewards
man weakened. Mr. Childs removed the
time-keeper to his city residence, where it
now ticks and tells that time is flying.

An Americans Experience in Algeria.

From the Pal Mol Gazette.
We take the following amusing description
of life in Algiers from the private letter of a
distinguished American at present residing
there:
Life here is very pleasant most Of the
time, and ought to be all the time. We
have a small villa, with garden and orange
tree. We ride, drive, read and gossip with
the natives. The only drawback is damn
able tendency on the part of the inhabitants
to drag one perpetually before the jltge de
pair. Soon after our arrival had to dis
charge my cOrriere for impertinence and
other crimes He, thinking he would catch
me without resources in strange land, de-
manded six months wages for being dis
charged without sufficient warning. | Of
fered him a weeks wages and fare back to
Paris He got at the Judge first and pois-
oned his mind. was summoned, and then
the fun began.
"For a month have been appearing week
ly in court swearing that the man had been
a servant he making himself out to be sort
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS who ought not to be
discharged The Judge, as / say, was en-
tirely in favor of the cOrrlere, though had
all the law on my side. The joke is coming.
A week ago we had an audience again, and
the Judge said he would pronounce judg-
ment that day week.
"On Saturday last / wrote a letter to the
Judge calling his attention TO certain points
in the case which he had ignored in court,
and finally appealing TO sd haltte Justice.
That night the poor man took to his bed and
died on Sunday Whether my letter killed
him | don't pretend TO say We must wait
for another Judge to come before we prog
ress.
II have another process in hand. The man
who let's us our horses pretends hired them
by the month. ! don't recognize any such
agreement, and have summoned him to &C
ccpt my offer through the Hi.lsster for each
ride or drive we hive had. The good man
had "A row with my wife yesterday because
she told him he must be tresnfgaud 10 sup
pose wo would pay him any such sum as he
asked. He at once became very angry, and
said: Madame, je nc suis pas negaud.
Madame, je vous vauX bienl Monsieur,
madame ma appole nigaudv etc. l feel
more or less sure he will summon her for in
sulting him. Really, | never saw such
beastly people. They look upon stranger
as common prey. / now have lawyer In

cy. and seldom 80 out alone. IN Other re
si,ects the place Is perfectly enchanting-
climate, scenery, food and wine and tobac-
co. Send me books, and ask for no more"
